By and large, comparisons between "now" and the novel "1984" tend to fall flat, since the novel was designed to be a parable --- a description of how terrible things could become if society was willing to let it all go bad:.

But this seems to be a reasonable comparison. Which to me says that the current situation must be unreasonably bad.

Yours, being unreasonable, I'm sure,
